takedownrequest

Facebook has announced an update to its 'Rights Manager' tool that will enable photographers to claim ownership over their most popular images, identify when those images have been used without permission, and issue takedown requests.

Google is seeing a huge boom in the number of takedown requests it receives from copyright owners wishing to get infringing webpages removed from the search engine. There were 76 million requests last month -- double compared to a year ago.
